I'm really concerned about this ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing along with pain in my left arm. It's been happening quite a lot over the past eight months. I'm trying to figure out what's really going on. Any ideas what could be causing this?

This could be a sign of a heart condition, specifically angina or a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take aspirin (e.g. Bayer Aspirin) 325mg to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

I just got my ECG report back, and it says "sinus rhythm with marked sinus arrhythmia." Should I be concerned about this? Do I need to see a specialist or get a further consultation? How serious could this be?

Sinus rhythm with marked sinus arrhythmia is a common finding in ECG reports and is usually not a cause for concern. It typically does not require any specific treatment unless it is causing symptoms such as dizziness or fainting. In most cases, it does not indicate a serious underlying heart condition. If you are not experiencing any symptoms, no further consultation is necessary.
